Gran Canaria, Canary Islands

City cruising, mountain surfing


From a hideous city in constant traffic to desolate mountains playing solitaire...
Palm is the tree and surf is the word.

Soundtrack: Surfin Bird by The Trashmen.

Art with a volcanic view

Casa de Colon: That Columbus had it good
Restaurante by-the-sea Dedo de Dios, Puerto de las Nieves

Puerto de las Nieves casual street view

Fresh snacks, arts and crafts at the Mercado de Vegueta, Las Palmas old town

The modest views of the old town
Police station at Aguimes: "Everything for our country" - and the genius that nailed a Stop sign right in front of it..

Ghost town of Aguimes: Strolling during siesta hours
Necrópolis de Maipés, Agaete: This is how they buried them back in the day
Necrópolis de Maipés: Badlands with hunderds of volcanic graves
Las Palmas sea port view
Casa de Colón: Pirate parrots - lazy, but real
Casa de Colón: Captain's chambers

Don't rock the boat - the view's too good

The old hut and the sea
Safe swimming

Casa de Colón: Columbus's courtyard

Brothers in arms

We're drumming
Ride it, don't fight it

Las Palmas auditorium: Magnificence in sight and sound

Tuffia: Tiny and to-the-point
Tourists, beware: Creepy statues like this pop up in every other corner...
Barranco Guayadeque:... And you will know us by the trail of the doves
Las Canteras: Beach life extraordinaire
Puerto de las Nieves: Swimmers dive, ferries depart for Tenerife, no sweat
Dizzying zigzagging all the way to Aldea de San Nicolás
Las Palmas auditorium: Where high art meets a perennial sports high
Las Canteras by night:..And the beat goes on
Kickstarting a new day with Madonna's Girl Gone Wild
Make sure you're in form
